[steep rain]

[brazen oasis]

Congrats 🎊

[west badger]

congrats! could you maybe talk about what the interviews are like? they just said 3 technical interviews with no details

[crystal beacon]

Thanks! Congrats !!

[pallid plank]

Interview 1: 2 LC Style (both Hard/Medium Hard) --> Solved first one unoptimally, second one didn't solve
Interview 2: Leadership Principles Behavioral - Went Meh
Interview 3: Leadership Principles Behavioral + OOP/LC-ish Medium (Aced)

[west badger]

Yeah that's cooked, I def can't do hard difficult problems

[cerulean oracle]

lc tagged? damn

[pallid plank]

1 tagged

[steep rain]

Was it a tagged hard? like one you'd seen before?

[pallid plank]

Yep seen it before just never did it lol

The second one was just the fucked up amazon hard LC style string questions they kinda have on their taggeed

didnt see it there tho

[brazen oasis]

How was OOD

[steep rain]

was oop like "design a vending machine"?

[brazen oasis]

How did you prep for OOD

[pallid plank]

Didnt

tbh

if u write code, thats not shit, you will probably do fine

[steep rain]

what was the Lc medium part of the OOP question like

[pallid plank]

It was a variation of a LC question

Just think of it as a LC problem that has is slightly easier but you have to think more about extensibility/maintainability/edge cases

[polar canyon]

Was it for fungible us grad role?

[brazen oasis]

How to prep for behavior/lp side?

[pallid plank]

yes

[pallid plank]

read the LPs and tailor answers to it before hand

Honestly I didnt think I did good aside from the last interview

[brazen oasis]

What do you think blew you over the edge

[thin heath]

crazy unlucky, some people be getting valid sudoku 😭

but they cant contain the goat

[pallid plank]

idk

LPs prolly

[latent dock]

I had solid interviews and nailed every LP but still got rejected, congrats my man

[heavy jetty]

bro prob had insane rizz

[flat willow]

From which email you got the update ? My friend is waiting for update still !!

[thin heath]

unlucky 🤦‍♂️

[pallid plank]

The email associated with my application? lmao

actually a bit weird, i got a phone from my recruiter telling me that a HM was interested in my profile

and after confirming a few details (to see if im ok to move to the location, interested in games, etc)

got the offer letter official via email few hours after

[polar canyon]

did your portal update first?

[pallid plank]

im so sorry man. truly sucks. could be that they couldn't find a teammatch for you? idk how amazon hiring works honestly

[polar canyon]

or just email

[pallid plank]

application has disappeared from my portal i believe

[polar canyon]

so how did you receive offer?

is that not on the portal?

[pallid plank]

i got an email

idk man have you ever received an offer via portal?usually they just reach out to

cuz i never have

[polar canyon]

yeah thats true, just figured the offer letter would be in portal or something

but I guess that makes sense

[pallid plank]

hasnt appeared yet

they make u take a survey

[polar canyon]

thanks for sharing

[pallid plank]

which confirms start date and all

i think once that shit is processed it will show up on the portal

no worries

[polar canyon]

ah ok that makes more sense

[cinder siren]

not really how it works

teams are separate from the hiring process

[pallid plank]

what happens in the case where u pass final round but no team wants you lol ?

[cerulean oracle]

amazon believes ur skills are applicable across teams

they usually dont interview you for a specific team unless the posting was it

[oak wedge]

@pallid plank hey was the OA automated? how long did it take to receive after applying?

[pallid plank]

@oak wedge read timeline above

no idea about whether it’s auto or not. i think it isn’t bc last year i didn’t receive oa and was rejected months after

[pallid plank]

not northeastern. t5 cs undergrad tho

[cerulean oracle]

its not auto

[half quail]

for the ood/oop did they just ask you to design xyz? and did you have to code it out or pseudo code or just talk through your steps

[pallid plank]

no psudeocode but yeah

my question was not super object oriented per say

cuz the question was framed like input is X output Y
